Consider a toy retailer with warehouses in St. Louis and Kansas City, Missouri. The warehouses stock an identical popular toy delivered to stores in the two cities. Assume a warehouse serves only stores in its city. Weekly demand for St. Louis is normally distributed with mean 2,000, and standard deviation 400 (that is N(μ = 2,000, σ = 400)). Weekly demand for KansasCity is distributed N(μ = 2,000, σ = 300). We assume that the two cities are far enough apart so that demand in the two cities is independent.The following parameters are seen by both warehouses:Replenishment lead time in weeks ~ N(μ = 2, σ = 0.1);Fixed shipping cost of replenishment: $500;Cost per toy: $10; andHolding cost per toy 20 percent of toy’s value per year.How many toys should each location order at a time and when should they reorder if they want a 99 percent cycle service level? What if they pool the two locations?

Suppose that Pizza King and Noble Greek stopadvertising but must determine the price they will chargefor each pizza sold. Pizza King believes that Noble Greek’sprice is a random variable D having the following massfunction: P(D $6) .25, P(D $8) .50, P(D $10) .25. If Pizza King charges a price p1 and NobleGreek charges a price p2, Pizza King will sell 10025( p2 p1) pizzas. It costs Pizza King $4 to make a pizza.Pizza King is considering charging $5, $6, $7, $8, or $9 fora pizza.

Suppose that the produc- tion function is Cobb-Douglas, so that the capi- tal share in output is constant, and that the United States has been in a steady state. a. What must the saving rate be in the initial steady state? [Hint: Use the steady-state rela- tionship, sy = (8 + n + g)k.]

The management of the Keribels Company wishes to apply the Miller-Orr model to manage its cash investments. They have determined that the cost of either investing in or selling marketable securities is P 100. By looking at the Keribels Company’s past cash needs, they have determined that the variance of daily cash flow is P 75,000. Keribels Company’s opportunity cost of cash per day is 0.05%. Based on their experience the cash balance should not fall below P 50,000. WHAT IS THE RETURN POINT?
